Yes, actually.  With as much traffic as this list generated on Forth a
while back I would have expected a lot more feedback.

Not to release it publicly.  I don't think the customer would mind paying
at all for a license to integrate it into his product.  NDA's etc. and
licensing are wonderful tools for generating income (ie, royalties) without
doing anything.

Actually, if I had time I would do that.

It would be the fourth language I've developed, but I don't have time to
port the existing stuff to a PIC.
